Waltham Butternut is a popular heirloom producing pear-shaped fruits up to 22 cm long and around 2 kg in weight. The light orange flesh is dry, smooth and richly flavoured with a sweet, nutty taste, making it excellent for roasting, soups, purées and baking. With a small seed cavity and vigorous vines, this reliable variety performs well across Australia and is an excellent keeper, storing for several months after harvest.
Approximately 7–9 seeds per gram
Approximately 25 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: April to August (dry season)
Subtropics: September to January
Mild climates: September to December
Cold climates: October to December
Planting / Sowing
Sow seed 20–30 mm deep into fertile, well-drained soil in full sun after the danger of frost has passed. Space plants 1–1.5 m apart with 2–3 m between rows to allow room for the vigorous vines. Water consistently during flowering and fruit development. Harvest after approximately 83–115 days when the rind is firm and the stem begins to dry. Cure harvested fruit in a warm, airy place for 10–14 days before storing to maximise keeping quality.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.

FLOWER SEEDS WITH EDEN
Flower seeds: As fellow gardening enthusiasts we share the love for planting and nurturing our own flowers in addition to our veggie gardens. Our carefully selected range of flower seeds, available for convenient online purchase, holds a special place in our hearts. Like the endangered vegetables we've championed, these flower varieties face the risk of vanishing forever. Some of these older strains are incredibly rare, and it's a source of immense pride for us to offer and deliver these precious flower seeds Australia-wide.
